    Another great haircut at The Hair Shack! They always do such a great job. They have plenty of toys and are so sweet with toddlers.

    Took my son for his first haircut and the service was amazing! It was nice and chill environment and they had toys for my daughter to play with while her brother was getting his cut. I am definitely coming back, loved it!

    My son just had his first haircut with Kathy. I had no idea what to expect with a toddler and this experience, but Kathy was so wonderful. She was quick and Koa loved her. I would highly recommend the Hair Shack!!

    15$ for toddler cut. Of course this is standard price here in Ventura but pricy compared to OC standards. Small but cozy "mom and pop" shop ran by a mom and her daughter! It was our first cut and they were accommodating. I called and was able to get an appt the very next day. Came 10 mins early and they were ready for us. The cut took a total of 15 mins prob which is great since it was nap time. The cut is just a tad bit shorter in the bang area than I had hoped for and a tiny bit crooked but it's ok since hair grows so fast and I rather have it shorter now and will grow out in a few weeks. I get it's tough with a toddler since they won't sit still or look up when you need them to. The cut is still cute. Toys are a bit older and could prob use a wipe down or an upgrade. Other than that, I was happy with the service provided.

    Awesome cape!

    Our little guy needed a cut and we were at a lost at where to take him. So glad we found this place because we will be back! They took us in same day for an appointment and we were the only ones in the shop during our visit. My husband was nervous as my little guys does not do well with haircuts. He was sold at the pizza alien lollipop cape! (Adorable!!) They also offered him a drawing pad that can draw&erased! My son did an amazing job at sitting through the hair cut with not a tear. They were kind, talkative, professional, and above all patient. If you have a child that is timid or nervous about a cut, give this place a try!! Thank you ladies for the warm welcome we will definitely be back for his next cut!!

    They do a great job on the kids and the grown ups. Reasonable prices and very friendly service. Great spot for a local haircut.

    We had the best first time haircut experience today! Kathy was so sweet and patient with our 13 month old. She had toys, made sure our baby was comfortable, and gave us the coolest certificate. Thank you, Kathy!

    Kathy and Sarah are super sweet! The energy in their salon is lovely and calm. Sarah did a great job on my hair transformation and their pricing is very affordable! I can't wait to come back. The parking right outside was nice too.

    Great toys available to distract the little ones

    My son just had his first professional haircut with Kathy today, my friend Amanda recommended this salon. I am beyond happy with the job and her patience. My son behaved pretty well but Kathy seemed more than willing to help me coax him into the chair. It was such a pleasant experience, I look forward to bringing my boy back for years to come.

    We had the best experience here. My daughter is 4 yrs old and this was her first haircut. She's got a lot of energy but the skilled specialist kept her entertained and did an amazing job. She put a lock of her curl in a small plastic bag and presented us with a first cut certificate as keepsakes. 100% recommend for children's cut!

    What is the cost for a woman's haircut? I have short hair. Thank you!

    How much are men's haircuts? Just a shampoo and cut, nothing special.

    $20!

    I should've left this five star review over a year ago when she did my hair, but I am leaving it…read morenow because she deserves so much credit. I'm a natural auburn redhead and so I appreciated her. Still keeping my natural color but adding some blonde to it. That is not an easy task. KRESA is amazing at what she does. She made me feel so good after my appointment. To this day, I have not found anyone that can cut and color my hair like her. It's funny because when I first went to the salon in Ventura, it was because I was housesitting for my parents and since I live in a small mountain town I rarely get my hair done and I thought while I was there, I could do it. Little did I know that I knew Kresa from Bakersfield. I used to get my hair done at her salon that she owned, but didn't have the pleasure of getting my hair done by her. I live about five hours away and I am absolutely considering driving that far to get my hair done once I get a new job. If you need your hair done, seriously go to Kresa.

    I moved to Ventura a few years ago, and I was on the hunt for a hairstylist who not only does an…read moreamazing job but is also friendly and professional. One day, while getting coffee at Palm & Boy across the way, I noticed a charming salon. Curious, I stopped by and was greeted by a lovely receptionist who immediately connected me with Corey. I honestly felt like I hit the lottery! Corey is not only skilled but also incredibly kind and compassionate. It's rare to find such a perfect blend of professionalism and genuine care, and I'm so grateful to have found her at Matiz Salon. Every visit is a wonderful experience, and I always leave feeling amazing. Highly recommend!

    I have had super bad luck with hairstylists since I moved to Ventura. Today I had an appointment…read morewith Emma at this salon and was excited because my hair badly needed color and a trim. I was very clear with the receptionist about what I needed when I scheduled the appointment. I arrived a few minutes early and was told Emma was running half an hour late. When she finally came to fetch me she asked me what she could do for me. I told her. She said, "I don't cut short hair. My specialty is long hair." What kind of stylist can't cut short hair? She agreed to color it and tried to book me for the following week for a trim - with another stylist. I don't want to wait another week for a trim! The color she put on my hair was so dark it's almost black and does not match the color I already had. Guess I will have to start all over again from scratch. It's so very, very upsetting and disappointing.

I no longer live as close to Ventura as I did before, however I will still make the long drive to get my hair cut by my girl Angie. It's crazy to think how long we've known each other now and I will say she is probably the only person in this world I trust with my hair. Her attentiveness and attention to detail when it comes to doing my hair all these years has never faltered and I will continue to be a loyal customer. Thank you Angie!

    I originally left a great review but it was definitely too premature. I got my nails done here in…read moreJanuary 4th, it took 3.5 hours for my full set of gel x, cost $150 plus tip. They were beautiful and seemed sturdy. I was happy to pay the price with how gorgeous they were. By day 6, two nails had broken off. Not blunt breaks but a clean peel off of the glue. Since then, not even a month later, I have 3 nails left (I keep gluing them back on myself because it was so expensive and I wasn't really planning to get my nails done again so soon). To say I'm disappointed is an understatement. Every time I have got Gel X they have lasted 6-8 weeks. For this price and time invested, this should not have happened. I've been on leave from work and resting mostly so I have not been rough with my nails AT ALL. These nails were cured several times so I do not know what the issue is. This salon was recommended to me by someone who has used them before and swore by their work. I'm not sure if it's the materials or technique but buyer beware. Gel X is not the strong suit here.

    Highly recommend Sindy ( @ sindyinthecosmos on IG )…read more Today was my first time getting my hair done here and I absolutely LOVED everything about it. It's beautiful inside, everyone I met was super nice, and it felt so much more welcoming than other salons I've visited in the past. I've been dealing with some crazy post partum regrowth and recovering from some DIY damage to my hair. Sindy did a great job correcting my color and gave me literally the best hair cut I've ever had. She was super thorough and she made sure every little detail was perfect since it was my first time getting a shag cut. I left feeling like myself again for the first time since having my baby but 100x better
